The Rock Band 2 features over 100 songs – 84 songs onthe disc, plus an additional 20 tracks available for free download. Players will have access to all previously purchased DLC tracks, packs and albums as well as future DLC releases, as well as the ability to export most of the original Rock Band disc tracks into Rock Band 2.
